We couldn't miss the opportunity of being placed in such a charming village, which is why you can find our Parador de Nerja there, where you will be able to enjoy a perfect getaway in the south of Spain.
Nerja
Nerja is a maritime village famous for its coast as well as for its cultivations. The Arabic origin of the village makes it a historic place full of interest. The beauty of the village resides on its narrow streets with white walls. You can find so many churches that deserve to be visited, as the Ermita de Las Angustias and the El Salvador Church, both of them from the XVII century.
Parador de Nerja
One of the most famous spots in Nerja is the Balcón de Europa (Europe's Balcony), an open vantage point to the Mediterranean Sea. It is a must if you visit Nerja, everyone goes there and it is a place where wonderful views of the sea and the coast can be enjoyed. Next to it, you can find the Ermita de San Miguel, another charming church in Nerja.
As for the sea, Nerja is placed in the southern Mediterranean coast. In total, there are 14 kilometres of coast to be enjoyed. A combination of cliffs and golden sand beaches compose the coast of Nerja. El Salón beach, where the Balcón de Europa is, Calahonda Beach and Burriana beach are some of the most famous beaches of the region. El Playazo beach is another one, and it is one of the less urbanized ones. The all-year-long soft weather makes Nerja the perfect destination for a beach getaway.
